Daily Mail reporter Jack Hardy described the courtroom 'antics' of Constance Marten, 38, and Mark Gordon, 51, during their sentencing that 'irritated' Judge Mark Lucraft.

Having been found guilty on July 14, 2025, of the gross negligence manslaughter of their baby daughter Victoria, the couple were each sentenced to 14 years in prison at the Old Bailey yesterday.

Speaking on an exclusive episode of the Mail's The Trial podcast, Hardy, who had been in court for the sentencing, told host Caroline Cheetham about the couple's repeated passing of notes to each other, which led the judge to criticise their 'complete lack of respect'.
